... and a cheesy Moon

GQ: How old do you think the Earth is? Marco Rubio: I'm not a scientist, man.... Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries.

Yes, Earth's age (4.5 billion years) is just as imponderable as that china teapot possibly in orbit 'round the sun. Damn these infernal mysteries. If only there were a way to solve the wretched things. You know, other than, uh, science?

But, as I was asking, You think that's bad? Well what about this?

GQ: Who's your best friend?Marco Rubio: My wife. We talk every day.

GQ: Besides your wife.Marco Rubio: Jim DeMint.

Looks as though Marco does believe in political science--but only the right-wing version, naturally.
